Good information.
Thank you.

Attributes Update:

Turns out I had no brave souls to test the pre-release code, so I will be putting this out into the wild soon... hopefully this weekend.

However, wanted to give people a chance to voice what columns they would like for the basic import.

Remember, the basic import ties a products_model to an products_options_name with a set of { products_options_values_name }.
I have mult-language support working correctly.

What attributes settings are the MOST common. The detailed attribute sheet will work to set any value in the table. So I'm not going to substitute that (it will over complicate in the initial import).

So if you have some feedback, now is the time to speak up and I'll see what I can do.

Once the new attribute features pass muster, I'll take this out of beta and submit to zencart's team for inclusion here.

thanks!

We make extensive use of attributes, mostly Colors for our dresses. (Sizes we can usually just copy across a category from a dummy product.)

Do I have the latest? My zip is called chaddro-EasyPopulate-4.0-9773477

Hi,

I'm using easypopulate 4.0 with zencart and it's working like a charm. But i have many many subcategories, and haven't found a way to use zencart to setup the image path for categories. Is this possible ? How ?

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to...

Do you mean Category Images? If you want to set category images (and category descriptions and metadata) you need to use the "Categories Only (with Metatags)"
download option.

NOTE: This is a one-to-one export-correct-import. It works off the category id NOT the name. You do not want to alter your category between export/import.

Keeping that in mind, it is very useful for setting all your category information.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

yes, i'm trying to fix a category image using easypopulate, but i don't know how.
Do you recommend just exporting using easypopulate, and then look at the generated file, and then do the same to link a category image ?
else, i don't understand how.

Thanks chad, :) i just had to export category only and look at how it was done, and import it back. Wow !! this will save me alot of time.
